Bruce Momjian 96b9dc1aef The attached patch, which incorporates the previous one sent and
currently unapplied regarding spi_internal.c, makes some additional
fixes relating to return types, and also contains the fix for
preventing  the use of insecure versions of Safe.pm.

There is one remaing return case that does not appear to work, namely
return of a composite directly in a select, i.e. if  foo returns some
composite type, 'select * from foo()' works but 'select foo()' doesn't.
We will either fix that or document it as a limitation.

The function plperl_func_handler is a mess - I will try to get it
cleaned up (and split up) in a subsequent patch, time permitting.

Also, reiterating previous advice - this changes slightly the API for
spi_exec_query - the returned object has either 2 or 3 members: 'status'
(string) and 'proceesed' (int,- number of rows) and, if rows are
returned, 'rows' (array of tuple hashes).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C and Tcl.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, and Python interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL
Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.
A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
